Cross-Racial Coalition, Past, Present, and Future
November 24, 2025

The federal administration’s immigration strategy is built upon one goal: stop the “browning of America.” As national resources are directed toward targeting Black and Brown immigrants, the administration is simultaneously incentivizing immigration from white South Africans. The success of this strategy relies on the disintegration and polarization of communities of color and white allies. Join us for a conversation about cross racial solidarity in the past, strategies for our present, and visions for our future.
